Porsche 911 Turbo press car crashes in the hands of journalist’s son

Globe and Mail auto journalist Peter Cheney got the thrill of a lifetime when he was given the opportunity to take home a Porsche 911 Turbo press car for a few days.
His job was to take it out for a test run and give the new Stuttgart sports car a full-on review. Unfortunately, his dream turned into a mortifying nightmare when his son, who we can imagine was goofing around behind the wheel of the 911 Turbo while it was sitting in the garage, accidentally launched the car, sending it straight through the garage door. Oops.

We don’t know whether Mr. Cheney would be liable for the damages incurred by the 911 Turbo. A brand-new 911 Turbo already costs $180,000 so if there are damages to be repaired, Cheney might have to fork over more money than he initially bargained for.
